"Any punk angst was long gone from the song [“Eric’s Trip”]—angst is for kiddies—replaced by intense curiosity, always a tougher emotion to translate into music, but always the emotion Sonic Youth has expressed better than anyone."
— Rob Sheffield, in his essay “Fading Fading Celebrating,” which concerns the sad news of Thurston Moore and Kim Gordon’s separation, and the likelihood that the band Sonic Youth will breakup. Published online at Rolling Stone.
